EPatwari can help governments and banks to easily verify land ownership and prevent double mortgage. Moreover, useful data can be mined from data stored on the blockchain.

How will the solution works

In general, EPatwari's current implementation is same as that of a private blockchain.
For each ownership transfer, there will be a transaction node in blockchain having land, sellers, buyers, and eirs details. Inheritance and polymorphism will be used connect different types of nodes.
Each node will be having a unique hash and Merkle Trees will be used to make records unalterable. All machines will be connected together to make application decentralized.
